This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Va. Beach, Va., this 28th day of September, 1933, in accordance with request made by her aunt, Mrs. [760], Active Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. [760], Sarah Hesson, Doris Anderson and Hugh Lynn Cayce.]

Time of Reading … Apts., 4:00 to 4:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Va. Beach, Va. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [386]; this we have had before.

2. As we find, the general conditions in the body are improved from that as we have had before. As the general health is improved, and the inclinations are for the physical functionings to become nearer to normal in their activities, it becomes more necessary to consider the activities of the glands that have caused - and do cause yet - disturbances in the coordination of the reactions in the physical forces of the body itself. There is produced the extravaganza in the activity of the mental forces, or the hallucinations appear, from the incoordinating of the cerebrospinal and the sympathetic reactions in the body. Or, there is what is ordinarily known as inflammation of the membrane through which nerve impulses pass, that tends to make for those irritations that produce a washing away - or a plethora - in the activity of same in its reaction.

3. Then, we will find that suggestions, with the applications of those vibrations that will REVIVE those flows of the ducts and glands that supply the proper conditions to these portions of the body, will make for a continued improvement in the mental reactions and the coordinations of the body also.

4. Hence, we would continue much in the same ways and manners that we have outlined.

5. When unusual conditions arise, as the activities where there are the supersensitive influences of outside forces upon the body, and these reactions take the form of hallucinations (from the normal reactions), then the quieting of the body through suggestion will be found much better than with the use of influences that would deaden the nerve reactions and tend to increase (as time goes on) those influences from without.

6. Ready for questions.

7. (Q) What suggestion should be given the body? (A) That the application of those influences in the system is creating a normal balance, and will surround the body, its functionings, its activities, with those forces that will prevent the recurrence of the conditions that have disturbed the body; and normalcy will ensue.

8. (Q) Would it be well to suggest an affirmation for the body itself to use? (A) Better that this be given when there is the closer association with the ideas and ideals of the body, with the activity of such psychological influences upon the physical body, by its association or contact with such conditions.

9. (Q) How often should the massages be given? (A) As suggested, it would be best that the massages be given just before the application of the active forces from the low electrical vibrations that carry the stamina in the body that acts with the activities of the nerve impulses themselves.

10. (Q) Is the battery being applied correctly, and just when would its application be most effective? (A) It is being applied correctly. The applicators or anodes only need to be kept cleansed, and the appliance kept efficient in its discharge.

As we find, these vibrations would be best given when the body rests in the afternoon or just before retiring; not too close to the periods when digestion is taking place in the body.

11. (Q) How long after the evening meal would be alright? (A) Hour and a half to two hours.

12. (Q) When she speaks of the hallucinations, what reply should be made to her that will do her the most good? (A) WHATEVER may be used to quiet it at the time, until there are such associations or connections that these influences may be ridded from the system.

13. (Q) Does she really hear the things she speaks of, or what causes the hallucinations? (A) We have just described how that the supersensitiveness of the nerve forces opens the body to such influences; or the body becomes what might be termed a human radio, but in giving expression to what is heard may often deflect what is actually said, felt or thought. For, thoughts are things! and they have their effect upon individuals, especially those that become supersensitive to outside influences! These are just as physical as sticking a pin in the hand!

14. (Q) Is there anything that should be done for the body that is not being done? (A) Not at the present. As we find, everything is being done correctly.

We would gradually, more and more, make for those understandings that may be had by the associations and the speaking of the influences of those conditions about the body.

15. We are through for the present.
